Maths: Mindset and Mastery - Emerging Trends in Maths Education

It sounds too good to be true: pupils who see mistakes not as something to be ashamed of but as an opportunity to learn and develop their understanding; pupils who embrace challenges and respond positively to critical feedback; pupils who are resilient when they meet setbacks; pupils who are able to draw on a range of strategies when confronted with unfamiliar problems; pupils who are confident working independently but are also able to use mathematical language to communicate ideas when working collaboratively. But these ideas are at the heart of what it means to have a growth mindset and to apply a mastery approach to the teaching and learning of mathematics, and the focus of this course is on providing practical strategies for ensuring these ideas form the foundation of mathematics learning in your classroom and your school.
